About Kappel
What are the main landmarks in Kappel?
Kappel's register is empty, which is unusual for a district of this size in Freiburg im Breisgau. No church, no museum and no listed house appears. What Kappel has instead is ground, close to fourteen square kilometres of it, and a place in the district list of Freiburg im Breisgau rather than in its monument list.
What is the history of Kappel?
Kappel comes with no founding year, no charter and no listed building, so the district's past has to be taken on the record's own terms: a name, a size, and membership of Freiburg im Breisgau. That is a short account. Baden-Württemberg's district registers place Kappel within the city, alongside Littenweiler, Günterstal and Betzenhausen, and the fourteen square kilometres it holds are the largest single fact the file offers.
Where is Kappel?
Almost fourteen square kilometres of Freiburg im Breisgau belong to Kappel, one of the widest districts the city counts. Room to spread, in other words.
